Research: a fly screen for the living room ranchslider30 mindone โ€” Hayley notified

Measure the slider as part of this โ€” the type (retractable, magnetic, sliding panel) depends on the opening.

Buy and fit the nursery window seals1 hrdone โ€” Hayley notified

The first set was the wrong type and went back, so this needs buying again.

Deferred โ€” it's summer by the time baby's here, so draughts aren't the problem they'd be in winter.
